Sounds more like your friend choose that route. There is a rule that if you dont want to pay the 20% income tax retention, you have to keep the purchased money in your dollar account for at least a year. I chose to pay the retention as I will shortly be making the move back to the US. I...

Yea, the fiscal key is probably the hardest part of all of this! I got mine way back when they first implemented the regulations for changing money. Basically, you need to determine your AFIP office determined on your current domicile (or the domicile on your DNI, cant remember which I used)...

It is actually a very easy process, assuming you have everything in order tax wise. I queried for a high amount (above 20% of my monthly wage), and the system validated that it was high and approved me for exactly 20% of my wage. Went to the bank with the print-out, had the pesos debited from...

I apologize, I did intend to write Markup and not Profit. As someone who has worked in retail for almost 10 years, I know for a fact that markup in the US tends to not go over 10%. Profit Margin before taxes is from 3 - 5$ and after taxes less than 1% I am going to edit my original post with a...

The idea is to get the point across that they cant charge markups of over 50 to 100 %. Of course this wont work, but at least it shows that some civil discontent is taking shape. Now we will have to see who it gets aimed at... Although it is easily discernible that inflation is caused by an...

Why isn't there an option for neither?

Thought I had read something about a situation like this - http://www.migraciones.gov.ar/accesible/?nomercosur_transitoria. REGULATION: 1.170/2010 Grant special transitional residence to those foreigners who enter the National Territory in order to perform paid works or not, in scientific...

"Mineral" - bottled at the source, must be labeled "Mineralizado" - chemically treated "Purificada" - Ground or below ground water, only difference from (treated) tap water is that it is distributed in Bottles (and controlled for quality, of course).

Yeah, losing it is not going to help, the security will kick you straight out... You will also need to pay storage, but you can probably get DHL to front that cost.

1. Yes, you will have to go to Ezeiza to pick up your package. If it was just a letter, it would have probably been able to get through customs no problem, although DHL and other private couriers often do require visits to Ezeiza no matter what. You will have to pay customs tax on the package...

Different prices by an operator for residents and non-residents is a different story completely. For example, the higher prices for Teatro Colon tours, and National Park Entrance can still be paid in Pesos, I imagine that this will continue to be the case. There are many places where various...

NO Hybrid - this is only for Tourism, such as Hotels, Plane Tickets, etc. We will see if the BCRA includes small Tourist Operators (like City tours) in the definition, but I doubt it.

OK - so your argument would be that they are not attacking the root cause? I agree. But I also agree that it is important to stop the symptoms before attacking the root cause. And I imagine from your post that you have no problems with this policy specifically, but rather with the entire...

No 35% tax on domestic plane tickets....

Really I dont see what tall the fuss is about. If you live here / earn in Pesos, you should have residency. Paraguyans, Brazilians, etc. that live here can get residency easily as Mercosur residents, they just need to process it. If you are from another country, there are different ways to get...

http://www.laporteniadeareco.com/ - nice place out in Areco, the owners were very nice to us when we were out there.

Bajo - this can be translated into English, no need to use the spanish word! The translation, at least in american english is Mirgant Worker.

Alright Matias, the truth is that it seems that you are just arguing for the point of arguing and nothing will change your mind. I decided to do an exercise and see what the "Media" was talking about. So I went to the website of Clarin, La Nación & Pagina 12 and searched for the word "Tren" in...

You did see the link included in my original post talking about accident on the Belgrano Sur, right? The media talks about whatever happens. If there is a derailment on the Mitre, it would make no sense at all for the media to talk about the Roca. If there is an accident one line, it seems...

Matias, what is your argument here? 1. All of these accidents are only happening on one train line (Sarmiento) and that is fishy or 2. Media is focused soley on problems of one train line with the intent of damaging the executives reputation My answers below: 1. Major & minor accidents have...
